GOING: S(7)

COASTAL HIRE COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1509m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Next Pay Run is expected to cross from a wide alley and lead. TSUNODA (4) has finished off his last couple of starts strongly, and another 100m will be in his favour. He has a home-track advantage, and it is encouraging to see Aaron Bullock keep the faith. Hard to beat. LAIZABOUT (1) battled away along the inner here last time out in a far tougher field. He was a game third on this track fresh up before that and will be suited by the 1509m of his third up assignment. He is down in class, and his next win is not far away. TOY STORY (2) has been mixing his form this prep, and he has yet to fire on this track. He tries 1509m for the first time, and a peak effort would see him in the top 3. SEETHING CHUCK (6) is a handy gelding who normally hits his straps third up from a spell. He handles any track conditions, and with the aid of a 3kg claim, he has each-way claims in this. WOLF DANCER (8) worked too hard to find the top last time out and faded in the run home. He won here over this distance in his penultimate start and is worth another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tsunoda to win.
